So just working my full time day job each week still leaves me short each month to pay bills. So this past fall I had to suck it up and get a second job. But I really didnt want to waitress, etc. and have to give up my nights/weekends. I am fortunate I get out of work at noon on Fridays so I hooked up with a job babysitting Friday afternoons. Yep, babysitting. At my age (30s). How sad.

Now I dread Fridays. I babysit 3 kids. All products of divorce and a bit bratty. Ugh, help me! I cant wait till the end of the school year (only 6 months to go! :O ) I love getting out at noon on fridays in the summer. Just feeling sorry for myself today Sad

Thanks, I definitely find that the older the get the less energy and enthusiam for the kids I find. I have been babysitting since I was 11 and I just have less patience as the years go by. But I dont have much of an alternative since the $$ is under the table and the hours work.....
